Silent Shroud

Encased within silent shroud,
numbed in heart, so self-avowed,
soul screaming oh so loud;
set in stone were you.
Swirls of secret agonies,
always there, never freed,
heart replaying darkest scenes;
set in stone were you.
Crumbling castles at your feet,
Lillith never in retreat,
damn the dreams your heart seeks;
set in stone were you.
Irony and useless tears,
restless heart fed on fear,
lonely nights and wasted years;
set in stone were you.
Lying deep within life's grave,
buried with the plans you made;
to hell with dreams once made-
set in stone were you.
Silent shroud, I knew you well,
partnered in your quiet hell,
dead within where cold waves swell;
set in stone were you.

Wow BENNY - this write is a superb quality and any poem that evokes the name Lilith kinda wants to make me shiver... Dark poem? Yes. Interesting poem? Absolutely! Stylish poem? Indeed - I like the repetitives - said like an eerie mantra of sorts.
I stylishly interesting write BENNY - thoroughly enjoyable - but care to explain the mystery that it is? What --- may I ask --- inspired this writing?
Wow! So deep! Set in stone were you...the repetition of this line throughout this poem is fantastic.
I found the meter even, easy to read and understand.
